New Syria.. History, Role and Destiny

The character of Jawhar in the series Al-Kharbah reflected with great precision and professionalism the crisis of the regime and the former ruling party in Syria. The character, played by Muhammad Khair Al-Jarrah in a brilliant and wonderful way, was characterized by a lot of superficiality, cunning, a desire to appear, and a sense of empty importance. The character believed that his mere marginal participation in the inauguration ceremonies would guarantee him a position or importance in the village and in the party as well, but he discovered too late that events were bypassing him and not paying attention to him, and that no one cared about the inauguration ceremonies at all. That is why Jawhar's wife was more practical than her husband, and more rational than him when she was begging him to go to the field to work in it. The writer of the work, Dr. Hamada Mamdouh, was creative in sculpting the character of Jawhar to express the crisis of the regime and the party in Syria, I mean the crisis of separation from reality, changing priorities, wasting time and effort, neglecting and ignoring daily and life challenges, worshipping the slogan at the expense of the content, coexisting with all contradictions, the possibility of jumping ropes, and a sense of false importance and status. It is no coincidence that Jawhar wears traditional Syrian trousers and a foreign tie at the same time in a strange, harmonious and contradictory combination. However, advice that was previously sold in sentences is now sold in eggs because there is no need for it. The fall of the Assad regime in Syria means, among other things, the fall of the Baath idea in its Iraqi and Syrian nature. This does not mean the fall of the idea of Arabism and its necessity and importance, but it means the fall of the political translation and practical application of Arab nationalist thought for many reasons, including the nature of the deteriorating relationship between the ruling military elites and the forces of the people, the poor inter-relations and the failure to achieve unity, and the power of the imperialist enemy and its multiple conspiracies. The fall of the Assad regime constitutes a real end to the thought that has prevailed in the Arab world since the fifties.

Since 2010 until now, the Arab world has not yet settled on a final form of the regulatory and stable relationship between its political, social and ethnic components and pillars. There is an ongoing search for a constitutional relationship between the regimes and their peoples, acceptable and preserving the political, civil and social rights of all parties. The fall of the Assad regime will increase the power of raising these questions and will increase the intensity of the search for that regulatory and acceptable relationship to establish a strong civil system of government. It is not necessary for militarism or the controlling cliques or a single party to rule, and it is not necessary for division or Balkanization to be chosen as final solutions for the peoples of the Arab nation - despite the ambiguity of the term now - for us, the Palestinian people who are facing killing, escalation, division, annexation and the elimination of the idea of an independent state, we stand by the Syrian people with all their sects and factions, and we are with the unity of the Syrian territory and with the political choice of the Syrian people. We are fine as long as Syria is fine, and we are with a free and democratic Syria that is strong and capable of giving us a new model for governance, administration and the social and civilizational contract, and it will be broken. Our back if Syria is divided or disintegrated, and interest in our cause will decline if Syria enters another phase of fighting, God forbid. What we hope is that our people in Syria will be treated with the chivalry, generosity and hospitality that we know from the authentic and generous Syrian people. Syria or its people cannot deny their role and ability in helping the Palestinian people, not because of geography, not because of strategic interests, not because of national security, but because of those deep ties of brotherhood, religion and humanity. There are countries and there are peoples who are not only motivated by interests, but also by morals and principles, and Syria has always played this role, and when we read what medieval historians wrote, we will be surprised that Damascus was the source, support and champion of Arabism and Islam, and God would grant it victory in the end. The fall of the Syrian regime does not mean at all that Syria will deny its history, role and ability, but rather it is now restoring them.
